Description

The method of eddy current separation equipment, separation module, separation method and adjustment eddy current separation equipment
Technical field
The present invention relates to eddy current isolation technics.More specifically, the present invention relates to for the eddy current separation equipment from grain flow separating particles, wherein separation equipment comprises: knock-out drum, and it is suitable at least being formed from rousing along the first particulate fraction of the first track movement and from drum along the second particulate fraction of the second track movement from grain flow; Be positioned at the feedway of knock-out drum upstream, for particle is supplied to described knock-out drum; And be arranged at the separating element in knock-out drum downstream, for the first particulate fraction and the second particulate fraction being separated.
Background technology
Well known, eddy current isolation technics is used for from grain flow classification and separating metal particle.By using eddy current separation equipment, can from family expenses, industry and incinerating waste (comprising inert plastic and other materials) Footwall drift such as aluminium.Eddy current isolation technics provides the relative cost effective method from rubbish and waste recovery major part valuable material.
This known eddy current separation equipment generally includes the conveying mechanism of waste particles stream towards the going barrel transmission be made up of magnetic patch.Drum is suitable for the spin of high rotary speed, and namely speed is higher than the transmission speed of conveying mechanism, to make to produce eddy current in metallic particles.Eddy current and different metal interact based on its mass density and resistivity, to make to produce repulsion on particle.Such as, if metal is lightweight conductive, aluminium, particle is promoted and is discharged from normal granules stream along the first track.These particles of discharging so can be separated with non-metallic particle, and non-metallic particle continues advance along connecting gear and fall them with on the drum that separates of metallic particles of discharge.These two particulate fractions be separated along corresponding track movement lead towards the corresponding receiver collecting corresponding particulate fraction by the separating element being arranged at bulging downstream.
When using whirlpool separator from waste stream separating metal particle, separating element is located and/or orientation relative to drum by the operator of separator.The composition of waste stream makes particle advance along certain granules track.Thus, after observing described particle trajectories visually and based on the intuition of operator, operator can determine the optimum position of separating element and/or directed and correspondingly regulate this element.When particle to be separated has relatively little diameter, be more difficult to be separated variable grain and the corresponding track of variable grain part closely interval or even partly overlapping.Thus, the applicable position of view-based access control model observation and intuition determination separating element will be difficult.
Therefore, target of the present invention is to provide a kind of eddy current separation equipment of improvement.More specifically, target of the present invention is to provide a kind of eddy current separation equipment, though its make particle to be separated have very small diameter also can in an efficient way from waste stream separating particles.
Summary of the invention
According to an aspect of the present invention, provide the above-mentioned type for the eddy current separation equipment from grain flow separating particles.This separation equipment also comprises sensor device, its arrange be used for from one of particulate fraction at least partly detection particle, to less granular quantity and/or material behavior, wherein this separation equipment be configured in use based on the quantity of detected particle and/or material behavior based on from the position of Signal Regulation separating element relative to knock-out drum of sensor device and/or the transmission speed of orientation and/or feedway, such as, based on the count number of the particle through sensor device.
By measuring the position and/or the orientation that automatically regulate separating element based on objective sensor, for concrete waste stream, can determine that separating element is relative to the optimum position of knock-out drum and/or orientation.Separating element is mounted to this equipment movably to make the distance between separating element and knock-out drum and/or separating element can based on the described Signal Regulation from sensor device relative to the orientation of knock-out drum.Sensor device is suitable for counting the quantity through the dissimilar particle of sensor device and the data based on collection determine concrete separating element position.The position of separating element can automatically adjust, and preferably carries out in real time.Such as, waste stream can stand the change of its moisture content.When the feed speed of waste stream keeps constant, when its moisture content changes, the second track that the first track that the first particulate fraction is followed is followed relative to the second particulate fraction changes.Such as, if waste stream becomes moister, the amounts of particles of the first particulate fraction detected near current separating element position changes.In the case, the position-adjustable of separating element keeps roughly constant to make the amounts of particles of the first particulate fraction.For the position of separating element and/or the adjustment in orientation alternatively or additionally, the transmission speed of adjustable feedway.When the discrepancy of quantity of particle count closes predetermined value, the transmission speed of feedway can increase or reduce.When pushing the speed, particle will to be advanced larger distance from knock-out drum, and when speed reduces, particle terminates with the distance shorter apart from knock-out drum.Due to this structure of eddy current separation equipment, the separation energy of corresponding particle is implemented in effective and objective mode, make effectively to be separated and comprise relatively short grained waste stream, such as average diameter is less than 15 millimeters or be even less than 10 millimeters, such as particle between 1-10 millimetres longer.Due to grain flow, such as waste stream, such as bottom ash waste stream, can roughly by substantially monochromatic, such as grey or the color gamut with roughly similar color are formed substantially, and being included in variable grain in described waste stream is only unrecognizable by means of its outward appearance.Therefore, can not by means of camera, such as grayscale camera, color camera, infrared camera and similar camera based obtain the accurate separation of each particulate fraction from bottom ash waste stream in vision-based detection.Sensor device according to the present invention is configured to detect different types of particle, and not tube exterior, the color of the variable grain of such as grain flow or color gamut, and the particle no matter covered by dust.
Thus, the purity of institute's separating particles part can increase thus, when separating metal particle, increases the value of the separating particles part reclaimed.
And, because the position of separating element to measure based on the objective sensor of the quantity by the particle of sensor device and the follow-up automatic adjustment of position due to separating element, the optimum position of real-time acquisition separating element, thus strengthens the continuous degree of accuracy of lock out operation.In addition, for providing the investment improving eddy current separation equipment relatively low for the modification quality of the particulate fraction that can be reclaimed by described improvement separation equipment.
Eddy current separation equipment is configured to the position substantially regulating separating element based on the signal from sensor device continuously, such as every several seconds, such as ten seconds.When from bottom ash waste stream separating particles part, within every ten seconds, regulate the position of separating element usually just enough.In this waste stream, the component of material can not be alternatively faster than every several seconds.Therefore, within every several seconds, regulate the position of separating element consistent with the described kind of grain flow to be separated.When needs are separated another kind of grain flow, the time between the continuous adjustment of separating element can be different, namely longer or shorter.
Sensor device comprises: first sensor part, and it is transmitter Sensor section, such as optical transmitter or acoustic transmitter, is suitable for sending energy with roughly pencil (beamshape); And second Sensor section, it is receiver Sensor section, such as optical receiver or sound receiver.And advantageously can use the sensor device of other kinds, such as, based on micro-radiation, electromagnetic radiation such as infra-red radiation and be configured to other the applicable sensor devices that can measure reflection/at particle by sending light beam shape energy and causing during energy beam or decay.Sensor device can be configured to count time per unit by the particle as the light beam of energy, and measures the size of corresponding particle and/or the angular speed of corresponding particle.
Each particulate fraction can comprise iron particulate fraction, one of nonferrous metal particulate fraction and non-metallic particle part.Eddy current separation equipment can be configured to be separated two or more particulate fraction from grain flow.Knock-out drum can comprise permanent magnet or electromagnet.The latter can be configured to connect during separation process and cut off, when one of separating particles part is ferrous metal particulate fraction.
In order to the quality of the part of separating particles of grain flow can be determined more accurately, described particulate fraction is metallic particles part, sensor device has the 3rd Sensor section, such as electric coil, and its structure detects the electromagnetic response of the conductive particle by described 3rd Sensor section.In further improvement of the present invention, the 3rd Sensor section can comprise at least two electric coils.At least one is for generation of magnetic field and at least one is for detecting the metallic particles by described 3rd Sensor section.This electric transmission coil produces electromagnetic field, but do not send net energy, thus also do not send energy beam, when particle lacks.
It is faulty generally that eddy current is separated.This means the first particulate fraction, such as metallic particles part, comprise the particle of the second particulate fraction of next-door neighbour first particle, such as non-metallic particle, such as plastic grain always.By determining the amounts of particles of separate metal part in one period and being contained in the quantity of the actual metal particle in described part, the distance between knock-out drum and separating element can be determined more accurately.Such as, when increase, separating element can be expected to move towards knock-out drum for the quantity of non-metallic particle in the quantity of metallic particles.On the other hand, if the minimizing for the quantity of non-metallic particle of the quantity of metallic particles, separating element is removable away from knock-out drum.For mobile separating element additionally or alternatively, the transmission speed of feedway such as transmission mechanism, regulates by increasing or underspeeding.After all, when increasing the speed of transmission mechanism, will advance different track and can ending at of the particle of discharging by means of knock-out drum is compared the low transmission speed distance larger apart from knock-out drum.
Be noted that the setting of eddy current separative element is depended in the optimum position of separating element, the speed of such as transmission mechanism and the rotary speed of knock-out drum.
Sensor device comprises and is configured to allow by the sample of the first particulate fraction (namely, little percentage) detection segment, wherein sensor device is configured to the metal grades calculating the first particulate fraction based on the given average grain mass ratio between sensor counting and nonmetal and metallic particles.The sample size of this sensor device can be 20 parts per second to the maximum.Can to be counted by sensor from the metal grades (metallic particles concentration degree) of the representative particle quantity (sample size) of waste particles stream and given average grain mass ratio between nonmetal and metallic particles calculates.The metal grades of waste stream is labeled as G thus, and m is average grain quality and N iRS, N eMSit is sensor counting.N iRSbe the sensor counting of the first and second Sensor sections, and represent the total particle quantity by described Sensor section.N eMSbe the sensor counting of the 3rd Sensor section, and represent the metallic particles quantity by described Sensor section.Considering that each Sensor section misses the probability of some particles (mainly because particle is by dropping through sensor device), counting being introduced for respective sensor part and corrects factor.Metal grades now can with hybrid sensor measure associate as follows:
G = N EMS C EMS m metal ( N IRS C IRS - N EMS C EMS ) m non - metal + N EMS C EMS m metal = Z ( C - Z ) k + Z · - - - ( 1 )
Z(0<Z<1) represent the ratio of sensor counting, C is the ratio that sensor counting corrects factor, and k is the ratio of average grain quality, according to
Z=N EMS/N IRS,k=m non-metal/m metal,C=C IRS/C EMS.(2)
Correction factor and k can determine in the calibration testing using the granulate mixture of known component (known grades) carry out.
There is the sensor device comprising the first and second Sensor sections and the 3rd Sensor section, nonferrous metal particle can be obtained and be separated very accurately from grain flow (such as bottom ash waste stream).Even average diameter is that the particle of 1-10mm also can be separated effectively.It is about 10mm and larger particle that typical eddy current separation equipment is configured to be separated average diameter exactly.Thus, have according to vortex separator of the present invention, even also can realize the separation improved for the waste stream of the particle with roughly similar color or tone.Owing to detecting the sample of particulate fraction, the dispersion of particulate fraction has no significant effect for the degree of accuracy of the separation by means of sensor device according to the present invention, with being separated to be formed and contrasting based on such as camera, in case of a camera, the dispersion of grain flow causes granule technology not accurate enough, because be not that each particle is detected by camera.Thus, the particle separation of carrying out by means of sensor device of the present invention is very effective.
